Yes more photos. I have never been into an event, I may not even have the chance to join since I live in a remote place. If one day this coinfest will be organized in my country, I will surely be going. I wonder if there is a huge fee just to get in

Is there?

CoinFest is always free to attend

By the way, guys, we still have one more event: the Crypto Show. All CoinFest organizers were invited to come on and talk about how things went in their city. It starts in about 10 minutes: http://thecryptoshow.com/listenlive

Sorry I couldn't make the Crypto Show! Sleeping!

Don't worry about it! I was barely awake for it, myself. Tongue

They will be happy to have you on the show another time, however... will sort it out via email.

It's almost the weekend, but we still have half of the events remaining to take place. So far, hundreds of people have already gathered around the world, and the events upcoming are expected to be even larger.

Due to a last-minute cancellation and mix-up with daylight savings time, the International Hangout times listed at http://www.coinfest.org/coinfest-2017/ have been adjusted.

For those who want to watch from home, the Blocktalk Hangout will be April 7, 5-9 PM GMT and available at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar51TiDa6E8&feature=youtu.be

The New Africa Radio hangout will be April 8, 2-3 AM... watch Twitter for the view link.

CoinFest was awesome! - I need to rest! but will update everyone asap - we have photos, footage and tons of ideas from CoinFestUK2017 we will be sharing!

CoinFest is still trucking along, with Bitcoin Wednesday hosting the major event for today. Jeff Garzik is speaking right now! https://www.bitcoinwednesday.com/live-stream/

In less fortunate news, Peter Rizun had to cancel on us and won't be on the International Hangout. In better news, however, we picked up a new sponsor in BitNational, whose cofounder will be taking Peter's place.

Happy CoinFest, everybody! Everything that's going to happen this year is now on the website, and the first event has already occured. Here are the news articles about the events so far:

There's been quite a few updates I've neglected to mention, here. I'll use bullet points:

There are now 3 International Hangouts! Blocktalk's is still the biggest, but New Africa Radio will connect Vancouver and Orange County with an African speaker later that day to talk about how Bitcoin's doing over there. We'll also have a closing ceremony broadcast by the Crypto Show.
Blockchain Gaming will be a huge component, this year. In addition to the panel, we'll be teaching people how to play SaruTobi and Spells of Genesis in Vancouver and probably other cities, the UK will have a Beyond the Void demo and Battlecoin server, last but not least, we now have a VR Bitcoin Block Explorer!
Most of the events are now listed with links to where you can RSVP. As you can see from the map, the Netherlands is a dense hotspot with 3 different groups hosting events, and Africa is no slouch, either--the majority of CoinFest Global grants went to fund events there. Manchester is still projected to be the biggest event, while Vancouver will focus on global coordination and tune into all Hangouts with some location outreach on the 2nd day.

CoinFest is drawing near, and with it the uplifting crypto spirit we've come to know and love. That means anybody who wants to be a Global Sponsor or event organizer has to get in touch immediately.

Several CoinFest Grants have already been approved to event organizers in Vancouver (me), Amsterdam, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Botswana. CoinFest UK didn't need to request funds because Adam Rizvi is doing an awesome job, once again.

Updates are now ongoing at www.coinfest.org

This will be my first CoinFest and I am going to the Omaha one, I am having a hard time finding any info whatsoever about the location in Omaha or a schedule. I will need to book a hotel and want to pick a few days to attend. Anyone going to Omaha or have a link? Thanks

Not sure what the plan in Omaha is, yet. I linked the organizer to your post, though, so hopefully he replies.

Some of the other events have already been posted, though. CoinFest UK is looking great, and we just posted the Vancouver event to Meet Up and Facebook. More awesome details, soon, but the schedule and location are set in stone.

Thank you for passing this along. Would love to make it to Vancouver this year but Omaha is best option.

Updates to www.coinfest.org have begun as plans are starting to solidify around the world. Still lots of updates to make to the 2017 page, but we're proud to announce that we have our first two Global sponsors. They are the Internet of Coins, a budding decentralized ecosystem of cryptocurrencies that links blockchains together; and CoinPayments, an online and offline cryptocurrency merchant platform accepting over 55 altcoins.

You, too, can join their ranks for only .5 BTC! Message us if you're interested before the news articles start going out.

Join the world-leading crypto sportsbook NOW!

Of course, I do understand that Coinfest isn't a job fair and won't be going there with CVs, but rather to see if anyone is looking for anyone like me. I understand there's a bit of work going on in the non-profits trying to study blockchain or crypto, I hope to run into people who might find my insight useful.

Perhaps I really am just looking to network, as you put:)

All the same, should be interesting to see.

Actually, I'm not from Austin; I joined the show remotely from Vancouver. Tongue

I've visited very few of the CoinFest event locations physically.

CoinFest is pretty much a volunteer operation, so for the most part, it's not a good way to go if you're trying to earn a decent income. Most of the people involved are trying to get publicity and experience; now I work at NewsBTC and Huntercoin, for example, and I'm trying to help the CoinFest UK guy get some more networking connections, too.

There are also lots of contractors around CoinFest, though. CoinFest only uses alternative currency, so we need a community of event venues and suppliers who accept it.
